What variable determines wether a protostar becomes a star?
mass
What will a high mass protostar turn into?
A protostar is the first building block of the main star. As it has not yet accumulated enough mass to join the main sequence, it will be smaller than the main star. The next stage will be a T Tauri star.
Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a high-mass star?
Protostar!
Do prostars become stars?
The term is "protostar", not "prostar". Yes. A protostar is an early stage of a star.
When a protostar rises to 10000000 degrees celsius will a protostar become a star before or after nuclear fusion?
through the process of fusion, it becomes a star: the birth of the star is the start of fusion. therefore, it is after fusion that it is classified as a star.
What is the definition of a low mass proto star?
a low mass protostar is the begining formation of a low mass star. a low mass protostar is formed by a nebula (stellar nursery), like a cloud in space, where all stares come from. the definition of protostar is: a collection of gas, and dust who`s gravitational pull is causing it to collapse on itself & form a star. a LOW MASS protostar just has a LOWER MASS then a HIGH MASS protostar. Your Welcome:)
Protostar will turn into what kind of star?
That depends on the mass of the proto-star.

What is the first step of stellar evolution?
The formation of a protostar from a nebula. As the protostar forms, it accretes more mass from the cloud and spins. As it gains more mass, it eventually becomes massive enough to ignite the core and become a star. The protostar is the first step in the evolution of any star.
A contracting cloud of gas and dust with enough mass to form a star?
a protostar
Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a high-mass star?
Protostar!
What does each star explode into?
The life of a high mass star goes like this: A nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a high-mass protostar the protostar ages into high-mass, very hot star that hot star explodes into a supergiant, which proceeds to explode into a supernova the supernova then shrinks into a neutron star or a black hole the life of a low- or medium-mass star goes like this: a nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a low-mass protostar the protostar ages into a low- or medium- mass,cool star the star explodes into a red giant, the red giant explodes into a planetary nebula the nebula shrinks into a white dwarf, which then dims into a black dwarf i hope i was able to answer your question.
What is a contracting cloud of gas and dust with enough mass to form a star?
it's a protostar
What is the difference between the protostar and the white dwarf?
A protostar is a star that is in the early stages of formation that has not yet become a main sequence star. A white dwarf is a remnant left behind after a low to medium mass star dies.
What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a protostar?
A protostar is a star the is developing as is on the way to starting nuclear fusion. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that failed to gather enough mass to start fusion.
Are protostar a star?
A protostar is more like a stage previous to a star - before it ignites.
